Germany’s anti-Palestinianism needs to be viewed not as a reaction to, but rather a continuation of, Germany’s racist crimes. Palestinians and other victims of Israeli and German violence have never been considered human enough.

After bombing all border crossings with Syria, the US-Israeli regime now bombed the road leading to Beirut airport - the only airport in the country. It’s becoming clear that the US-Israeli regime is cutting off Lebanon from the outside world. A siege.
I am in Tehran. Millions of people are on the streets, painfully mourning the martyrdom of President Raisi. Meanwhile Western mainstream media is telling you another story - but this is not surprising because no Western president or political leader would gather such support.
Unable to invade Lebanon and face the resistance on the battlefield, the US-backed genocidal regime continues to massacre civilians through airstrikes.

Translation:
“Leaders of the G7 are united in expressing their unconditional support for Israel’s genocide in the Middle East.
We condemn in the strongest terms Iran’s attempt to deter Israel from committing genocide.”
The genocide in Gaza of 2.3 million people caged in an extermination camp is the result of European “democracy”, “human rights” & “freedom”, all of which have been used as violent, colonial concepts to mock the vast majority of the world’s population & to justify European white
Thousands of Palestinians who broke into UN food warehouses in the besieged Gaza Strip are ‘scared, frustrated and desperate’ after 3 weeks of war, says director of UN Palestinian refugee agency ⤵️
@GermanyDiplo
Even when they “strongly condemn”, the Germans government out of their way to minimize Israeli crimes. “confiscate” and “appropriations” are rather creative euphemisms for occupation and ethnic cleansing.
The sad, sad morning after decades of German-funded terror, apartheid & genocide. My heart goes out to the Palestinians, Lebanese, and Syrians murdered by Israeli settlers. May there be a way out of Germany’s crimes against humanity.
The sad, sad morning after a day of terror. My heart goes out to the family of the Italian tourist murdered in Tel Aviv by a Palestinian attacker. May the other victims overcome their injuries and the trauma. And may there be a way out of this current cycle of violence.
If Palestinians refuse to die silently under Israeli bombs in an open-air concentration camp, they are committing “the most lethal assault against Jews since the Holocaust.” Wow!
Yesterday’s heinous, barbaric terrorism against Israeli civilians is the most lethal assault against Jews since the Holocaust. There is no justification whatsoever for this mass murder. None.
No one has the right to tell Israel how to defend itself and prevent and deter future
“Free Palestine is the new Heil Hitler” - headline in a major German newspaper.
A very clear example of two despicable phenomena in Germany: anti-Palestinianism & Holocaust trivialization.
This depiction of indigenous Palestinians as less than human, as animals, insects, viruses & diseases has been part and parcel of Zionist ideology since the late 19th century. Genocide does not begin with the counting of massacred bodies but with the intent and public & direct
"Germany has made unconditional support for Israel – including supplying arms and paying billions of dollars – central to its identity and state policy, and Berlin continues to violently repress any expressions of support for Palestinians. ... But it is only the German state’s
I don’t know what’s more pathetic?
Macron trying so hard to please the settlers, or the settlers’ replies condemning him because he is not genocidal enough 🤦🏽♂️

הכאב עודנו כאן, חריף כמו לפני שנה. כאבו של העם הישראלי. כאבנו שלנו. כאבה של האנושות הפצועה.
לא נשכח את הנספים, את החטופים, ואת המשפחות שליבן שבור מההיעדר או מהציפייה לשיבה. מחשבותי נתונות להן בהזדהות.
@ArielElyseGold
Ariel, you are literally promoting genocide, and not for the first time. Please stop policing the self-defense of people who are under brutal US-Israeli genocidal attack. You are not different from Netanyahu. A watermelon in your profile does not change that.
“Freedom”, “democracy”, and “values” of course means a lot coming from an unelected bureaucrat & genocidal fanatic who is responsible for the massacres of Palestinian babies in the Gaza extermination camp.
Putin fears nothing more than dissent from his own people.
The world has lost a freedom fighter in Alexei Navalny.
We will honor his name.
And in his name we will stand up for democracy and our values.
It is impossible to grasp the dystopian nightmare we have been trapped in the last 10 days. A human’s worst imaginations of what evil could look like are nothing compared to what “Israel” is inflicting on us. “Israel” is evil & will destroy the entire planet if it is not stopped.
Palestinians are paying the price of German barbarism. How many more Palestinians need to be massacred so that Urusula can feel better about her identity?
Palestinians in Gaza are in need of humanitarian aid.
They cannot pay the price of Hamas’ barbarism.
On top of tripling humanitarian aid for civilians in Gaza, we are organising an EU Humanitarian Air Bridge to Gaza through Egypt.
With the first two flights this week.
Unable to invade Lebanon and face the resistance on the battlefield, the US-backed genocidal regime continues to massacre civilians through airstrikes.
@SecBlinken
This must be tasteless satire, given that more than a hundred journalists were killed by the US-backed israeli regime in Palestine and Lebanon since October 7.
Libanaises, Libanais, mes chers amis.
Dans la confusion, dans le chagrin, l'espoir est une denrée rare. Dans cette confusion, dans ce chagrin, la France se tient à vos côtés.
seeing germans try to defend dressing up as native americans, as an american living in germany, is absolutely wild. what are you guys doing? i saw this at a parade yesterday in freiburg and my eyes popped out of my head like a fucking cartoon character.
@vonderleyen
The Israeli regime literally MASSACRED a THOUSAND Palestinian refugees at once and Ursula is back on Twitter with her “Hamas terror”. No words to describe this evil.
I don’t know what’s more disgusting. The German regime making sure that it justifies every single “israeli” aggression and refers to the martyred as terrorists - or the replies from Germans & Israelis accusing the regime of not being Zionist enough. What a sick society!
Die hohe Zahl ziviler Opfer bei einem israelischen Luftschlag in
#Tulkarem
ist schockierend. Beim Kampf gegen den Terror ist die israelische Armee verpflichtet, Zivilist*innen in der

zu schützen. Palästinenser wie Israelis haben Recht auf ein Leben in Sicherheit.
@vonderleyen
How utterly disgusting to pose for a propaganda photo at a memorial commemorating the victims of the Holocaust and at the same time perpetrating another genocide. I have no words to describe the evil that Ursula von der Leyen is.
It is evident that the colony is falling. Settlers should take advantage of their dual citizenship & visa-free access to the collective West and leave Palestine.
Palestine is not safe for settlers anymore and will never be.
For this to happen, there must be no more threat from Gaza to Israel's existence. Hamas must lay down its weapons, and Hezbollah and the Houthis must cease their dangerous provocations. Palestinians direly need the chance for a life in safety, dignity, and self-determination. 3/4
@ArielElyseGold
Shame on Hamas for not trying to appeal to the sympathy of liberal zionists in the US? The Palestinian resistance is defending the people in Gaza during a genocide. Palestinians have the right to defend themselves with all means at their disposal. Stop policing their survival.
@JosepBorrellF
The EU condemns in the strongest terms Iran’s justified self-defense against Israeli terrorism.
The EU reiterates its commitment to Israel’s right to commit genocide.
The EU calls on victims of genocide to exert maximum restraint.
The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there.
To that end, the United States will provide
Germany has been supporting this genocide and, in fact, praising it as Germany’s “national interest” (Staatsräson). This suffering in
#Rafah
is a calculated consequence of Germany’s genocidal foreign policy.
Already, the suffering in
#Rafah
is unfathomable. In an extremely confined space 1.3 million people are seeking shelter from the fighting. A large-scale IDF offensive in Rafah would be a humanitarian catastrophe in the making. The people of
#Gaza
cannot vanish into thin air. 1/2
Criminalizing the wombs of indigenous women has always been part of colonial genocides. It is not surprising that German media outlet
@derspiegel
would be scared of Palestinian babies and implicitly justify their killing.
Mehr als 180 Geburten, jeden Tag, mitten im Krieg: Die Uno mahnt eine humanitäre Feuerpause in Gaza an. Die israelische Armee hat dort derweil Sprengstoffgürtel gefunden – offenbar für Kinder angepasst.
Two elderly zionists compete over who can better execute a genocide in Palestine, while mocking the victims, and this is called a “Presidential Debate” 🇺🇸
A US president just turned “Palestinian” into a slur to attack another US president. “Palestinian” was used as a slur against the person funding and enabling the genocide of the Palestinian People…. Ok
On 7 October 2023, Hamas killed or abducted people for one reason.
Because they were Jews.
Today we mourn them.
Our thoughts are with all those for whom time has stopped on October 7th.
With all the innocent victims of the tragic chain of events that was set off by Hamas ↓
A young Israeli man has been sentenced to 30 days in prison for refusing to join the Israeli army.
Tal Mitnick, who is 18-years-old, becomes the first conscientious objector imprisoned in this war and he could serve even more prison time if he continues to refuse to enlist
It seems as if some Germans feel better about themselves and their genocidal history when they portray resistance against settler-colonialism as worse than the Holocaust that their ancestors committed.
The question is, why did it take Slovenia 33 years to re-recognize Palestine? The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (that Slovenia was part of until 1991) had recognized the State of Palestine in 1988…
Slovenia raises the Palestinian flag today alongside its own flag and the flag of the European Union on the government building in the capital, Ljubljana, following its official recognition of the State of Palestine as an independent state.
Shocked by reports that drone strikes targeted at Tel Aviv killed a person and wounded 8, and very concerned about this dangerous escalation. Condolences to the families of the victims and wishes for speedy recovery to the injured. Israelis have the right to live in security!
It has been a great honor for me to participate as a special guest in the Second Sobh Media Festival in Tehran.
Thank you to the people of Iran 🇮🇷 & the many people I have met there from across the world.
No one is confused, Robert! You are committing a genocide, as you have done so often in history. And you are using one of your genocides to justify another. Germany has no shame.
